Folk Art Carving Edger Tolson Signed

  

This was from the estate of a folk art collector. It was signed by the artist as they watched. He was a very enthusiastic carver and very humble. Believe it is popler wood but not sure.

Made from root of tree? Sorry we don't know more about it. It does have a real presence to it. Our expert seemed to think it to be very valuable. Several of you have told us that it's worth over two thousand!!!
